Joe Mazzulla doesn’t care about cutting NBA quarters to 10 minutes, but Adam Silver is ‘a fan’ of the idea

Joe Mazzulla delivered a succinct response with little emotion on his face when asked about the possibility of the NBA shortening quarters from 12 minutes to 10.

“I don’t care,” Mazzulla said. “Whatever you’ve got to do. Just play the game.”

Mazzulla may not care about the concept, but league commissioner Adam Sliver said he is considering it during a recent appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.

Patrick asked Silver to share the “wildest thing” the league is considering in terms of tweaking the sport, using the NFL’s decision to alter kickoffs as an example of what he was looking for.
